By The Associated Press
BATAVIA, Java, Oct. 31-British reinforcements including warships and
fighter planes were reported speeding to trouble spots in. Java tonight
after the Allied commander warned Indonesians in a stern ultimatum that

at Soerabaja, came as 700 Indian Gurkas battled to put down a new Indo-
nnesian uprising at Magelang, where
strong nationalist forces appeared to
be massing.-

BEYOND IMAGINATION:
Yamashita War Crime Trial
Reveals Brutal Jap Savagery
By The Associated Press
MANILA, Oct. 31-At least 800 men, women and children were butchered
by Japanese in a dining-hall massacre baited with bonbons and assurances
of safety for the victims, survivors of the slaughter testified today at the
trial of Lt. Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita on war crime charges.
It took place at St. Paul's College here Feb. 9, while American troops
were battering their way into the Japanese-occupied city.
"VETERANS CITY" GETS BEAUTY TREATMENT-Landscaping, now being undertaken in this housing
region, will ultimately result in a neat residential street.

Termed Failure'
(Continued from Page 1)
strongly opposed to any change in
their privileged position. The lot of
the common people has improved
very little since the beginning of the
Chiang regime in 1927.
"Nevertheless," Dr. Gale pointed
out, "the problem of social change in
a country like China, where the
standard of living is incredibly low,
the agrarian system backward and
the economic opportunities so few is
enormous. And the Chinese Com-
munists occupy a frontier area with a
relatively small population. The at-
mosphere is free from the traditional
corruption and privilege which taints
Chiang Kai Shek's government.
"The result has been that the
foreign press has overeriticized the
Nationalist government while Com-
munist China has received far
more praise than it deserves. One
is particularly impressed with the
fact that, the Chungking govern-
ment is largely staffed with Ameri-
can trained Chinese officials even
on the highest levels. So far as we
know, no positions of importance at
the Communist capital of Yenan
are occupied by western trained
Chinese.
"The Nationalists, governing by vir-
tual dictatorship, effectively have
barred other parties from the govern-
ment for almost two decades. They
have promised more popular partici-
pation and consequent representation
of opposition parties now that the
war is ended. Whether this will be
done remains to be seen. At least un-
til they are adequately represented,
the Communists may be expected to
continue armed opposition."
Dr. Gale stated that little Rus-
sian influence has been focused on
the Chinese Communists, but that
crude forms of Marxian ideology
are prevalent among the Commun-
ists. Newspaper correspondents re-
turning from Yenan report reduc-
tion of taxes, suppression of usury,
more equitable distribution of land
and improvement of other evils at-
tributed to the Chungking govern-
ment. "Just how far Russia will
move in advising the Communist
party in China I don't know," he
said. "And I don't think anyone
else does. We'll just have to wait
and see."
"The position of the United States
and Great Britain in regard to the
Chinese situation," Dr. Gale pre-
dicted, "doubtless will be somewhat
tenuous. The reforming objectives of
the Communist party are regarded
with marked sympathy; it is obvious
to us that the Chinese people them-
selves would welcome any govern-
ment pledged to improve their living
conditions. Yet any program painted
on a Communist banner is viewed
with distaste by the western powers."
A well known educator and political
scientist, Dr. Gale has served on the
Far Eastern faculties of the Univer-
sities of California and Michigan.

Candy and Drinks
Luisa Borohana, 30-year old Span-
ish woman, testified that after the
Japanese had crowded about 1,000
civilians into the college dining hal
"they brought in candy and drinks
and placed them in the center of the
room."
"I noticed huge black balls hang-
ing from the center of theceiling,"
she raid. "I thought they were black-
out ights."
But when the crowd of children,
women and men surged toward the
tempting spread of sweatmeats and
refreshments, she added, the black
balls turned out to be bombs. They
exploded killing or wounding many.
And then the Japanese who had
touched off the blast from outside the
hall rushed back through the doors,
tossing hand grenades into the panic-
stricken throng and shooting surviv-
ors who attempted to flee.
Death at "Party"
The witness estimated at least 800
men, women and children were killed
before the "party" in the dining hall
was over.
Yamashita grew drowsy as other
witnesses recounted details of the
carnage, but he perked up suddenly
and followed the interpreter closely
when 13-year old Winfred Coloma
took the stand and, in a schoolboy
voice, told how his family met death.
"I was eating candy," he said,
"when the bombs exploded. I think I
was thrown to *the floor. Then I saw
my mother, two sisters and one of
my brothers was dead. My other
brother and I ran outside with the
Japanese shooting at us and ma-
chinegunning people in the street."

Revision of G. I. Bill
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31-(;P)-Re-
vision of the G. I. Bill of Rights to
make it easier for veterans to go to
school at government expense or get
loans in buying homes, farms or busi-
nesses was recommended today by a
senate subcommittee.
It proposed:
1. Extension until 10 years after
the war the time in which veterans
may apply for government-guaran-
teed loans. Present law allows only
five years after the war's official end.
2. Authorization for loans on farms
or businesses to include not only the
value of real estate but also supplies
capital and inventory.
3. A 35-year period, instead of 20,
for repayment of loans on farms.
4. Authorization for loans based on
the "reasonable value" of the prop-
erty. The present law reads "reason-
able normal value."
5. Opening of the educational pro-
gram to veteraps irrespective of age.
The present law applies to those
whose education was interrupted by
reason of war service
